Nicely done!

I love it when public figures show they're human.
Personally, I would have preferred that she had spent her time trying to define what a woman is.
Could she figure out which one of them was Juliet?
She is proud to be the first black woman on the SC. Wasn't she the one during Senate hearings who could not, or would not define the meaning of a woman?
If Harris won, we would have a court packed with people like her.
Clearly she is a feminist icon, based on her responses. Yay for DEI
Was it announced to the audience who she is? I wouldn't have recognized her.
This play won't help with that, as Juliet's "non-binary" friend muddies those waters.
Drone over Broadway.
“All the world's a stage, and all the men and those who can't answer what a woman is merely players” - William Shakespeare (allegedly)
She's the only Supreme Court Justice to have committed perjury in her confirmation hearings, then was approved to the court anyway only because she's black and a DEI hire.
When she claimed she could not define the word "woman" she was lying. That's called "perjury" when a person is under oath and sworn to tell the truth.
Agreed. And it is nice when whichever the other side happens to be, can use that experience to soften their opinion somewhat. It doesn't have to be full transformation of Ebeneezer Scrooge on Christmas Morning, but maybe just the hint of a smile when seeing it.
"...stuns audience with surprise performance !"
But I read about it last week, there was plenty of front coverage. How was it a surprise? Or is it really just to augment the delight, the 'Ooohs and Aaahhs'? Was it also 'brave'? I'd have been stunned too, but not the way you think.
Side fact: Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas walked the 185 mile length of the C&O Canal back in 1954 to protest its conversion into a road.

What an interesting microcosm of today's "right-think" media environment.
The talking head news anchors over-talk Ketanji Brown's speaking performance segment telling us she has theatrical talent rather than letting us determine that for ourselves by hearing it.
For progressives, "theatrical talent" is pretty much a stand-in for competency in almost every endeavor, hence their close multi-generational ties and sycophancy towards and from hollywood.
Thread winner.
She doesn't look like a wonderful person to me.
This kind of thing makes me think: I wonder how this came to happen?
As they say, DC is Hollywood for ugly people.
Brilliant performance. I urge her to actively pursue this career path full time. Please, Justice Brown, do not deprive us of your talents.
The first albino to sit on the Supreme Court. But, first, we'll have to overcome albinophobia that progressed under the first black-white president and in liberal democracies. Next, People of Yellow, who are subject to prejudicial exclusion under Diversity dogma in liberal culture.
Meh. She looked like she was having a blast. I’ll reserve commentary on her opinions that she hands down, not on her personal life.
Hear hear! When it comes to knowing what sex something is or how old it is, thespians aren't particular.
Hopefully, a new career is in the offing.
I’m okay with this. Except for some sour retorts her time at the supremes is destined for a vapid footnote…
Big contrast from how the cast of Hamilton dedicated their curtain call to castigating VP-elect Pence when he came to see the show. Broadway is apparently a one-way street.
JSM
Me too. Chief Justice William Rehnquist, according to some of his law clerks, had a typical lunch of a hamburger, a Miller Lite beer, and a cigarette. A regular old Joe.
This. Of course there were a few seconds of dead air towards the end when we could have heard her but it was muted. I loved the crowd shot of the rapturous audience to end the feature.
Privilege.
Judges should neither need nor seek standing ovations.
Jackson belongs on The View, not the Supreme Court.
"And Juliet is the Sun!"
Is she?
What is a Sun?
Or a womynsyn?
Or a Syn?
The show sounds like absolute garbage, but that's Broadway now.
WTF: School shootings in Madison WI?
I think RBG and Scalia appeared as "spear carriers" or some such in a professional opera performance once.
I don't know that much about her. I probably disagree with a lot of her opinions, but she seems likable and good humored. Biden could have done worse. Can you imagine that fat fuck Bragg on the Supreme Court. That's who he probably would have appointed in his second term.......Amy Coney Barrett is extremely good looking and has an appealing back story. If she were a Democrat, she would be the most celebrated Supreme Court Justice of all time. Major movie stars would compete for the coveted role in Sorkin's biopic of her life.
Shakespeare’s Juliet is 13 years old. Cue the pedophilia conspiracy wackos!
Eating the cigarette might have mitigated lung cancer. Mouth or stomach cancer, not so much.
This isn't as strange as it may seem. She studied drama and was in improv groups in college (alongside humorist / former "Daily Show" correspondent Mo Rocca, who was a classmate). I wouldn't be surprised if theater was considered good training for a lawyer.
You must work for the teacher unions.
Pedophilia is a serious and widespread issue amongst members of the goverment class.
Especially amongst democrat attorneys and judges here in in Wisconsin.
Maybe the public speaking part. Definitely not the applying logic and reasoning parts.
Former CJ Rehnquist acquired a great love for Gilbert and Sullivan. He would quote them in his opinions. Their operetta “Iolanthe” inspired Rehnquist to add gold stripes to the arms of his black robe.
Who's acting was better:
1. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
2. The Syrian "prisoner" freed by CNN
Also whose.
300 incidences per week of teacher/student sexual assault in the USA, and that's according to the DOE Civil Rights division. Naturally the despicable teacher's union tries to soft sell the numbers and put out a statement that 300 per week is only .05 percent of all the students in USA public schools.
300 students molested by a teacher's union member every single week!
I fully agree with this.
on another thread last week I had asked about thespian/voice training for lawyers ! so I have to give her extra credit!!
are there seated farts in courtrooms? [alt-raspberries]
"Shakespeare’s Juliet is 13 years old." Yes, this is true, but that was before Global Warming. Global Warming has caused the Earth to travel more slowly around the Sun. So in his day a 13-year old would be 20 years old in our terms.
Rehnquist smoked 2 cigarettes a day. One in the morning with coffee, the other after his working lunch of a hamburger, Miller Lite, and then a cigarette. He didn't die of lung cancer, so I don't know what the hell you are talking about. All of you people here should try to emulate his ability to control his vices.

Back in the 90s (80s?) we would say someone had theatrical talent as a faux polite way of saying they were a drama queen.

A job in Pallywood awaits the Syrian guy if he wants it.
The review I read was so savage I’m surprised she hasn’t resigned, changed her name, and moved to an isolated cabin n the woodlands of Maine.
So they took a nearly perfect play and rewrote it to push some agenda, because, you know, they can't write anything 1/100th as great themselves?
Additionally, she is receiving a salary from us to do her damn job, not play thespian. I know this is hard for people with certain jobs to comprehend, but it’s still true. So we paid her to be working the job she was hired to do. We paid her to take it seriously. We paid for her security. She stole all of that from us. There should be an investigation.
Must be nice to be a member of the special class.
That’s not what we’re paying her, and her security for. Full stop.
And in this case, a SC Justice chooses a “female empowerment” “version” of Romeo and Juliet in which Romeo dies, and Juliet runs away with a non-binary lover, then gets involved in a threesome. Ketanji Brown Jackson calls this a “wonderful story of female empowerment and women’s ability to do what they want to do.”
That’s just like having a hamburger. The Justice actually shouts “female empowerment.” The boy dies. Does she now recuse herself from cases involving gender politics?
